19 Lessons Life Has Taught Me At the Age of 19

Now that summer has arrived, I encourage everyone with newfound free time to dig deep within themselves and reflect on the things that life has taught you.  Think about all the advice you would give yourself if you could travel back in time.  
In short, what has life taught you?
Here’s my list after an hour or so of contemplation.
1. Never take yourself too seriously.  Always find opportunities to laugh, be cheerful, and enjoy yourself.
2. Spend more time with people who make you smile and less time with those you feel the need to impress.
3. Question everything, but never close your mind to anything.  You can learn so much from inquiring, asking questions.  Sometimes, you learn more from the process of questioning than the answers you find.  
4. No matter how many mistakes you make, you are still better off than those that never try.
5. When you have a purpose, you can figure out how to achieve anything.
6. Knowledge without experience is useless.
7. Always try to be the best version of yourself, not somebody else.
8. There is always someone more intelligent out there who disagrees with you.
9. Change is the only permanent thing in life.
10. Being busy and being productive are two different things.
11. You can wear yourself out and still be able to get up and do it again.
12. Take time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
13. Always be willing to admit when you make a mistake.
14. You don’t need to be intellectually gifted or born into affluence to be successful.  You only need a strong work ethic and kindness.
15. You can go further than you ever thought possible if you are willing to push yourself.
16. I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
17. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know.
18. Never let other’s perceptions of you form your perceptions of yourself.
19. Motivation, commitment, and determination are money in the bank.
